Almost There...

So I still haven't left. I will be gone early next week though, still haven't hammered down an exact date. I am waiting to get my passport from the Consulate in Montreal (with my visa attached of course). Once that's in my hand I am out of here.

I saw the other two movies in the vengeance trilogy after. Check them out, they are some of the best films I have ever seen. I've been watching movies like there is no tomorrow lately. The latest was There Will Be Blood. Great movie, I won't go into detail but it was one of Daniel Day Lewis' best performances as per usual. Also saw Be Kind, Rewind. I'd skip it if I were you.

In literary news, I've been reading H.P. Lovecraft's work like it's going out of style. I've seen numerous references to his work, but only recently checked out his stuff. This guy was an incredible author, if you are at all a fan of horror or fantasy he is a must-read. He's never written a full novel so if you've got a short attention span, all the better. The guy is American and wrote most of his stuff during the 1910s and 20s. One cool geeky reference I did discover upon researching the man and his work was that one of my favourite PC games of all time, X-COM: Terror from the Deep was based on his work. I find his Cthulhu Mythos extremely engaging and I'm rather sad that I have nearly read all of his work. That being said I am not disheartened as I did pick up Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs along with a Korean phrasebook from Chapters the other day.

It appears because of the delay I will get to see Matthew before I go which is nice. Probably am going to miss(as in not present) the partying, although still not decided on whether or not this is a bad thing.

I believe that this will be my last post before I am settled in Korea. I pretty much have purchased everything that I'm going to take with me (lots of deodorant, since that always comes up on the forums). I'll leave you with a few pictures from the going away party thrown in my honour, and a few randoms.
